Long Time No Post

Wow, it's been forever, but I really want to get back into the blog thang! I acrtually want to try and start selling things that I make, perhaps online or locally, I'm not sure, and I don't know how to get started, suggestions welcome!

I've actually been on a crochet kick since before Christmas, here are a couple projects I've done recently.

Super
cute potholder I just whipped up for a friend's apartment warming.
It's 2 strands of cotton yarn, and I did sc, sk 1, ch 1, this picture
seems very blurry, but I've really been trying to wing stuff and do my
own thing instead of only follow patterns.

This is actually a pattern I found at Rheatheylia
called The Lattice Hat, so cute, she has other super cute patterns
also, check them out! I made this for myself, I love that yarn, but
it's just so thick I don't like the way it looks on, I made one for my
dad and he loves it. Also, the hook suggestion made a smaller hat, I
used I and H for this one, but I crochet pretty tight.

I jumped on the Sashay bandwagon as well, I made this for my cousin, I'll put up a tutorial soon.

So these gorgeous infinity scarfs are from All About Ami,
she also has tons of super cute patterns, for free of course. These
are 2 strands of regular 4 ply acrylic yarn with a k hook I believe. I
saw the pattern and had to make it right then, but I didn't have any
super bulky, so I improvised. The grey is the pattern exactly, the off
white is skinnier and a bit longer.

I
did make a super bulky one eventually, it's so big and luxurious, it
cost about 11 bucks to make, and I don't love the color on me as much as
I thought, but I'm still wearing it! See how much bigger it is than
the regular yarn, I love it.

I'm
so addicted to making these, they're so easy and pretty fast, like a
few hours. I made this teal one for a friend, it's a bit skinnier and
longer like the off white one.

Here's
the teal one on, I need one of these also, the two strands of 4 ply
give it a little more structure, the super bulky just kind of oozes onto
your shoulders, I love them both!

So
I've been trying to blog with my tablet, it's an Asus Transformer, and I
can write and everything, but I can't upload pictures, it takes great
pictures, I'm very upset about it, anybody blog from a tablet??????
